Quy Nhon
Step off your cruise in Quy Nhon and uncover a hidden gem of Vietnam's central coast. This tour takes you away from the city to the tranquil Bai Xep fishing village, where you'll immerse yourself in local life, learn about coastal traditions, and savor the unique flavors of the region.
Your day begins with a warm welcome at the Quy Nhon Port. Your private guide will greet you and take you on a short, scenic drive along the coast to Bai Xep, a charming fishing village nestled by the sea. This is where you’ll see Vietnam's coastal life in its most authentic form, with colorful fishing boats moored in the bay and fishermen mending their nets under the sun.
As you walk through the village, you'll have the chance to interact with the locals, hearing their stories and observing their daily routines. You’ll visit a small, local house where the highlight of the tour awaits: a hands-on experience in making Banh Xeo Tom Nhay (Sizzling Shrimp Crepe), a famous specialty of this coastal city. An artisan will guide you through the process, from mixing the batter to cooking it over a hot pan, filling it with fresh shrimp, and rolling it with local herbs.
Lunch is a truly authentic feast, where you'll enjoy the sizzling crepes you just made, along with other fresh seafood and local dishes, all in a genuine family setting. This isn't just a meal; it's an intimate cultural exchange that connects you directly to the heart and soul of Quy Nhon's culinary traditions.
After lunch, you'll have some free time to stroll along the peaceful beach of Bai Xep or enjoy a cup of Vietnamese coffee before your guide drives you back to Quy Nhon Port.
